shear strexes at points B', B, und C have to be determined. To show how
‘these values are obtained. we mus first determine the moment of inertia of

Note from our discussion of the “Limitations on the Use of the Shear
Formula” that the caleulated values for both 7g and ty are actually very
misleading. Why?
For point C, tc = 0.013.m and A’ is the dark shaded area shown in
Fig. 7-12d. Considering this area to be composed of two rectangles,
we have

From Fig. 712, note that the largest shear stress occurs in the web and is
almost uniform throughout its depth, varying from 22.6 MPa to 25.2 MPa.
It is for this reason that for design, some codes permit the use of
calculating the average shear stress on the cross section of the web, rather
than using the shear formula; that is,
